⚠ Expect extreme dry heat. Damascus averages 37°C (100°F). Desert sites like Palmyra run several degrees hotter. Heatstroke risk is high during midday hours. Medical facilities capable of treating severe heat illness are limited outside major cities.
⚠ Dust and sand storms can materialize with little warning, on the desert road between Damascus and Palmyra. Visibility drops to near zero. Driving becomes dangerous. These are most common when easterly winds blow off the interior steppe. They tend to be brief. They are intense.
⚠ The extreme aridity at 31% average humidity causes rapid, invisible dehydration. Travelers accustomed to humid climates lose dangerous amounts of fluid without the usual warning sign of visible sweating. Disciplined water intake is a medical necessity. Not a comfort preference.
